Diseases of Women.

"Self-preservation is the first law 'of nature" in

point of time only, for a second law, not less

imperious, is race-preservation. " Life," it has been,said, " is a struggle to gratify two instincts-hunger and

love." "

Among the lower beings, animals and plants, themaintenance of the individual and of the race is

provided for by one and the same organism. The

minute plant, the fungus familiar to us under thename of yeast, is a microscopic ball, which, placedunder favourable conditions, not only maintains its

own proper life, but also produces similar

independent beings. On the surface of the original

ball minute buds appear, grow, and finally aredetached with the size, shape, and power of the

parent organism. As we ascend the scale of life,

however, we find special organs set aside in eachanimal and plant intended solely for the productionof new and, similar beings.

In all the higher animals-man included-the

development of the sexual organs, occur only after the

development of those instincts essential to thepreservation of the individual. The interval which

elapses between the birth of the animal and the advent

of its sexual life varies according to the term of theanimal's natural life. The rabbit becomes sexuallymature within a year after its birth; the elephant only

after a score of years; the human animal after ten to

fifteen years.There are, therefore, no essential differences

mental or moral-between the boy and the girl. After' na

certain period of 12 to 18 years, the sexless becomes

a sexual being, assuming traits, physical, mental andmoral.
